Follow Me on Friday to Cunneen’s Bar and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day early!

March 10, 2016

Dear Neighbor,

St. Patrick’s Day is fast approaching and I can think of few places more apropos to mark its arrival than Cunneen’s Bar, located at1424 W. Devon.

Follow Me on Fridayto Cunneen’s this Friday, March 11th, 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. In honor of the impending holiday, I will be offering up delicious corned beef sandwiches and Cunneen’s will be providing a complimentary beer, wine, shot of whiskey or soft drink.

Cunneen’s Bar is a traditional Chicago corner bar located at Devon and Newgard Avenues. Newspaper articles declaring the end of Prohibition hang on the walls and the clock is graced with Mayor Daley’s mug . . . the first Mayor Daley. So it’s no surprise that this place is one of the neighborhood’s favorite hangouts.

Cunneen’s has been a Rogers Park institution for over forty years. Aside from the “new” cash register (1913 new), not much has changed at Cunneen’s (OK, there’s one other exception–Cuneen’s just installed an HD TV for those important Chicago sports).

The bar offers an extensive beer selection, with a few seasonal brews, and a wide selection of music. In fact, Cunneen’s boasts one of the largest collections of vinyl in the city. Music at Cunneen’s is always the bartender’s choice, but they do take requests.

Whether you grew up nearby or are new to the neighborhood, the folks at Cunneen’s will welcome you with open arms. Come in, relax and enjoy the unpretentious at atmosphere at Cunneen’s

“Follow Me on Friday” is one of my efforts to encourage my constituents to sample some of the 49th Ward’s finest restaurants, pubs and businesses. About once or twice a month on my Facebook page, I post the name and location of a local restaurant, pub or business where I’ll be hanging out after work on Friday. The establishment offers specials for all my Facebook followers and their friends. It’s a great opportunity for you to check out one of the fine local 49th Ward businesses you may not have visited before.
